Banking Production Center (BPC) will make a major public appearance at The Asian Banker Summit 2005, the annual flagship event of The Asian Banker Journal, that will take place from 15 to 17 March 2005 in Singapore. Building upon achievements accumulated over the past five years The Asian Banker Summit is the region's most powerful gathering of some hundreds of senior executives in the financial-services industry: CEOs, CIOs, CTOs, EVPs, heads of business at retail and corporate banking, regulators, related government agencies, as well as local and regional media. Each year the Summit brings together best practice leaders and analysts from around the region. This year the Asian Banker Summit will feature three separate and concurrent conferences:

• Islamic Banking Conference
• Risk Management & Corporate Governance Conference
• Payments, Core Banking & Technology Conference

The following general sessions are proposed to the top-notch audience:

• Regional Outlook Forum split into two special sessions devoted to critical developments in China and Indonesia;
• Keynote addresses dedicated to the Islamic banking;
• Closing keynote address traditionally making honest observations about Asia's financial-services industry;
• Closed-door CEO dialogues;
• and finally, The Asian Banker International Technology Expo highlighting the technology-related capabilities from the international marketplace and bringing together decision makers responsible for their financial institutions' IT and foremost solution providers.

BPC will be sponsoring the Summit, leveraging this unique opportunity to promote its flagship switch and card management EMV-compliant solution SmartVista, as well as its EMV consultancy offering, among Asian bankers.

Keeping pace with all smart card technology innovations and commanding truly unique theoretical skills, practical knowledge and deep acquaintance with EMV migration procedures BPC can help the banks of Asia Pacific meet complex technical requirements of EMV quickly, cost effectively whilst protecting investments.
